The verified answer
As of Oct 2026, DEPLOY verifies Axis Robotics: $12.0M raised. 17 sources back the record.
Overview
Axis Robotics is a Physical AI data infrastructure company building a compounding data engine for robotics. $12M Seed round led by Hack VC. Stack includes large-scale simulation, egocentric real-world capture, and human-in-the-loop post-training.
100,000+ active contributors generating 1,200+ hours simulation and 20,000+ hours real-world data monthly. Released Sim Dataset V1 with benchmark gains on LIBERO-Plus. Partners include Booster Robotics, Geely Auto, Lotus Car. Team from UC Berkeley, CMU, Georgia Tech, NTU, SJTU.
Reality check
Contributor network (company-claimed)
5M+ trajectories from 200,000+ contributors since launching on Base in March 2026, now 100,000+ trajectories a day.
Monthly data volume (company-claimed)
1,200+ hours of simulation and 20,000+ hours of real-world data a month.
AXIS dataset (company-claimed)
207 tasks and 50,129 episodes from 70,000+ contributors; continual pretraining lifted pi0.5 LIBERO-Plus success from 83.9% to 88.8%.
Sim-to-real result (company-claimed)
Sep 2026: Co-training on a few real rollouts raised real-robot success from about 22% to 52%; an expert policy costs about $5-10 of compute.
Lotus and Geely deal (company-claimed)
Oct 2026: A simulation-trained policy sorts 500 to 800 different automotive parts on a real production line.
TUCO sim curation Franka gain (company-claimed)
Oct 2026: with 10 real demos per task, 600 TUCO-selected sim trajectories lifted average Franka success from 16.7% to 85.8%; the full uncurated sim pool reached 25.8%.
TUCO method (company-claimed)
Oct 2026: TUCO uses influence functions to score sim demos against target-task rollouts, then selects a complementary subset for sim-to-real co-training.

Claims ledger
Public, dated claims by Axis Robotics, each tracked against the evidence. Status is a DEPLOY assessment from primary sources: verified means an independent source confirms it; contradicted means one refutes it; open means the outcome is not yet determinable. Every entry keeps its verbatim quote and source so you can check the call yourself.
